Home > AstroBroach Machines > Cycle Time
Use the following example to help determine approximate broaching cycle time:
| Record The folowing:
|
|
|
| Time to load and unload part |
2 sec |
| Time to clamp and unclamp part |
1 sec |
| Ram cutting speed |
840 in/min |
| Ram return speed |
1680 in/min |
| Length of ram stroke |
15 in |
| Calculate the following:
|
|
|
| Load + Clamp + Unclamp + Unload |
3.0 sec |
| Cutting Time = (15 in/840 in/min) x 60 sec/min |
1.1 sec |
| Return Time = (15 in/1680 in/min) x 60 sec/min |
0.5 sec |
| Machine Cycle Time= |
4.6 sec
|
| Determine parts/hour at 85% Efficency:
|
|
|
(60 min/hr)x(60 sec/min)x(85%efficiency)
|
|
| Rate=
|
